After Sunday's Regina Coeli Pope Francis prayed for the people of Colombia, where clashes between protesters and police forces have claimed the lives of over 50 people.
POPE FRANCIS
“I pray that the beloved Colombian people may be able to welcome the gifts of the Holy Spirit so that, through serious dialogue, they can find just solutions to the many problems that especially the poorest suffer, due to the pandemic.”
He then asked Christians to prayer for the Church in China, so that it may always work towards building peace and justice in the country.
Pope Benedict XVI established May 24 as the feast of Our Lady of Sheshan, patroness of China.
POPE FRANCIS
“I invite you to accompany with fervid prayer the Christian faithful in China, our dearest brothers and sisters, whom I hold in the depth of my heart.”
The Pope also expressed his concern for the thousands of displaced people in the Democratic Republic of the Congo who fled their homes after the eruption of Mount Nyiragongo, which killed over 100 people when it last erupted in 2002.
